How to Paint Ceramic Plates

Continuing with my posts about how to make your own decorative plates, I found this nifty video about how to paint ceramic dinner plates.

I originally just thought it would be fun to do a little research into the actual making of plates, but now I'm actually getting excited about giving some of these methods a shot on my own. This one is nice because the cost is relatively low to get started.

Of course I've still got my own collection of "known" plates that I'll keep building, but taking on the project of making your own dinner plates or plates just for displaying, gives a whole new dimension to this fun hobby.

In case you have a hard time keeping up, this video suggests the following materials:

Marabu Ceramica paint
Paint brush
Jar of water
A soft pencil
Masking tape
Marabu Porcelain Painter pen
Scissors
Scrap paper
Tracing paper
Your pattern of choice
The plate you will decorate
